Nairaland is a crazy joint.
I wanted writing A.bo.ki and its changing it to northerner.

Mr Seun, who told u A.bo.ki = Northerner?
This is a new year o! Let's not start getting things wrong.

Meanwhile, the hypocrisy of muslims knows no bound. I sent happy new year to a classmate and he responded that New Year is a kufr celebration and real muslims don't celebrate it. Chai! Some people start the year by thinking with their appendix.

Change is Jimi Agbaje. We need another group of people to look at all the things done since 1999.

Jimi Agbaje for Gov

Buhari for president.

No need for sentiment.

GMB you made promises when you overthrew Shagari's government,hope you're not making empty promises like back then. You abused us back then saying we're not disciplined and your uniform men flogged us on the street like dogs...hope you're not here to finish what you started? You became corrupt and power drunk back then one reason why your government was overthrown.You denied freedom to the press hence ruled without being challenged by the opposition. Sir,we want to believe you've changed but you have made dangerous utterance that suggested the contrary and everybody knows word of mouth reveal whats in the heart. We want to believe you can solve common man's problems in Nigeria...we're still waiting for you to tell us how. What do you want to do and how do you want to do it? What will happen if you eventually loose the election? Will there be bloodshed as your supporters did the other time you lost? We have questions needing your answer. Yes we want change but we want to know the type that you're bringing. Some People say you're a BH sponsor,am sure you're not but your comments in the past seems to sympathize with them tho you later comment to the contrary. Sir, President Goodluck's administration is not really the worst in the history of the nation.Infact,some school of taught said if it were not for the BH activities his administration would've been fair to say the least as his Transformation Agenda is showing some reasonable improvement. I never get on train before untill now though its not the fastest there is. Roads are taking shapes amidst other cool stuffs. Well we know the current administration is not the best we can get,so if you're bringing change hope its not only BH you want to stop? We have other sectors as well like corruption and our finances which you fail to deal with before you were overthroned no thanks to general IBB. Sir,I will vote for you if you can answer the common questions we common Nigerians are asking. We even thought its better you dont contest again if you loose this one so that young and vibrant minds can come onboard to chat the course of this nation. Another suggestion of mine is if you dont win,you can as well make your impact felt in the coming administration by giving advice rather than thinking you can only affect the nation only by ruling it. Am sitting on the fence waiting for which one to choose between your change and president GEJ's transformation agenda because I know I have to choose wisely! Thanks.

No reasoning of fact in this news. First is how did the girls escaped if truly they escaped and not some imposters trying to gain social points. Was there any interrogation with the so called escaped girls after they escaped? I doubt the admisibility of this news. This country is just fool of shits..... We ain fools. Yet the soo called push and start president is mute on the issue of the girls.

PassingShot:
This exercise is an attempt to picture how the next presidential election will be won and lost.

It is based on the following factors and assumptions:

1. That there will be 80% voters turnout across the country

2. The two candidates popularity and general acceptability

3. Each party's spread and their strength in each state

4. New developments in the political terrain of a state irrespective of the party that rules the state


If you have a different view or opinion, please let's hear it.

I read an article somewhere, where Oliseh Metuh of PDP, called for the resignation of Hon. Tambuwal for ditching a party on whose majority he rose to the office of the speaker house of Representative.

In his exact words: “After a thorough consideration of the matter, the NWC came to a conclusion that the Hon. Speaker, as a responsible elected officer, knows full well what is needful an.
honourable of him since his new party is in the minority [in the House]” he said.

I have also read some comments offline and online, when some ignorant/paid commentators have started insinuating that Hon Tambuwal May lose his office for simply not fulfilling the requirements of the law as regards the position of speaker.

It is very unfortunate that some Nigerians including public office holders are too lazy, to read the elementary sections of our Constitution, some of which are self explanatory.

Now, let us examine what Chapter V, Part 1 (Composition Of National Assembly) sections 47 -50 of the Constitution Of The Federal Republic Of Nigeria holds:


There shall be a National Assembly for the Federation which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.

48. The Senate shall consist of three Senators from each State and one from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.

49. Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the House of Representatives shall consist of three hundred and sixty members representing constituencies of nearly equal population as far as possible, provided that no constituency shall fall within more than one State.

50. (1) There shall be:-

(a) a President and a Deputy President of the Senate, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves; and

(b) a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.

(2) The President or Deputy President of the Senate or the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives shall vacate his office -

(a) if he ceases to be a member of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, otherwise than by reason of a dissolution of the Senate or the House of Representatives; or

(b) when the House of which he was a member first sits after any dissolution of that House; or

(c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, by the votes of not less than two-thirds majority of the members of that House.

So where did PDP find the supposedly "loophole" or authority in law, in asking Hon. Tambuwal to resign? The only option left for them, is to rally their members and see if they can muster the required number when plenary resumes in decemeber, in order to satisfy Section 50, subsection 2 C as highlighted above.

Anything else is calling for anarchy!
